    That’s because the file is not really any image.

    You’re getting around our file security protocols by giving every file a .jpg extension, which works for the upload, but not for the download as our image servers are only configured to serve image files.

    Thank you for pointing that out to us.

    Please note that you can now upload and serve .zip files if you have a space upgrade.
